Arriving near the palace, Bruno came out of the roof of a house, before looking around. Very quickly, he saw a sandstorm that covered the entire roof of the palace, showing the presence of a certain enemy.

" The palace ! I'm finally there! Vivi-san… I'm going to defeat Crocodile to save your country. "

Preparing to head for the palace, he heard the sounds of fighting. Turning around, Bruno saw rebels fighting against the Imperial Army. No matter where the man looked he saw only chaos and death.

The fighters were fighting each other to the death and many had already fallen to the ground. Blood could be seen on the ground… screams of pain were heard… The town of Alubarna had become hell. Remaining motionless for a few seconds, Bruno finally roared.

" CROCODILE ! "

Suddenly, he heard laughter, not far from him, followed by the sound of detonations. Looking down, he saw a group of people having fun shooting the rebels in the crowd. One of them, with a rifle in his hand, dressed in the same way as a royal guard. However, he did not hide his arm quickly enough and Bruno could see his '' BW '' tattoo there.

"Baroque Works! "

" Perfect ! " Cried one of them, shooting a rebel. " By killing several rebels, we'll make them even more angry with the Imperial Guards. "

" We are paid to kill people? The dream job. "

" Kill the most of these midges. " A man cried, aiming at a rebel's head.

Suddenly his body was cut to pieces.

" That … ? " He wondered, before collapsing to the ground.

" What … ? "

" He got cut up ? "

Turning around, the members of Baroque Works saw Bruno walking towards them.

" Who are you ? And how did you do that? "

Remaining silent, Bruno let streaks of anger appear on his forehead as he extended his hand towards the group of men.

" ZIP ! "

Screaming in pain, Neni felt blood flow from his chest wound.

" I had warned you, Mr 9! If you hadn't been fooling around wanting to play hero, none of this would have happened to you! Nevertheless, I am not a monster… "

Kicking the injured man's body, he sent it flying until it landed near Vivi.

" Neni-san ! "

" Considering the fact that you are going to die in two minutes, I will at least allow you to say goodbye! Definitely, I am a sentimentalist. "

" Motherfucker. " Roared Chaka. " Tell me where did you hear about Pluto? Is this the reason for your coming here? Do you plan to destroy this country to recover a simple weapon? "

" A simple weapon? Watch your words, ignoramus! Pluto is in no way a weapon like your pitiful sword! Pluto is a weapon capable of allowing its owner to control the world! Besides, it's not my fault that it was hidden in this country. "

" Pluto…? " Vivi repeated, as she crouched down next to Neni. " The ancient weapon? I didn't know it was in Alabasta. "

" What are you going to do with this weapon? " Wanted to know Chaka.

" Are you stupid ? " Wanted to know the shichibukai. " This is however obvious! As soon as I find it, I could build my kingdom right here! I will be the king of this country, and my people will be the pirates who will come here to work for me! My power will then grow and surpass that of the Navy! Nothing can then stop me. "

" The world government will never let you do it. " Cobra retorted.

" Of course. " Affirmed Crocodile. " Nevertheless, thanks to my title of Shichibukai, I will be able to gain power before the government decides to act! And thanks to Pluto, I could easily get rid of it! But for that, I need it. "

Walking towards King Cobra, he ordered him.

" Tell me where it is. "

" I do not know anything at all. " Cobra retorted. " Yes, it's fine in Alabasta, but even I don't know her exact location! No one in this world even knows what it looks like or if her power is so devastating as rumored to be! Other than her name, no one knows anything about Pluto. "

" Effectively ! I do not deny that there is a great chance that this weapon is a pipe dream! You have to be an idiot to blindly believe in its existence, with so little information. "

" If so, how are you going to go about taking control of this country if it doesn't exist? "

" Easy ! I intend to kill each of you and make everyone believe that I have this weapon, by claiming that it destroyed Alubarna. "

" Destroyed… Alubarna? " Chaka wondered.

Smiling mournfully, Crocodile asserted.

" In half an hour, a bomb of phenomenal power will explode and destroy all of Alubarna! Even if I am unable to find Pluto, I could claim to have used it to destroy this city! No one will then be able to retort that Pluto is in my possession. "

Hearing this, Vivi, Neni and Chaka could only display looks of fear, understanding the man's plan. For his part, Cobra roared.

" You are just a fool. "

" Why so much anger? After all, thanks to me, Alabasta will become famous and will be reborn to be the nation with the most powerful military force. "

" As if I was going to let you do such a thing. " Vivi roared, pulling out her sharp pendants.

Nonetheless, placing an arm in front of her, Chaka took a step towards Crocodile.

" Since earlier, I let you talk and you act as if nothing could stop you. "

" It's the case ! Who do you think you have in the capacity to defeat me and stop the bomb in less than half an hour? "

In response, Chaka drew his sword.

" I am Chaka, one of the guardians of Alabasta! I would be ready to die to save my people and my king. "

Listening to him, Crocodile only exhaled smoke out of his mouth, before approaching a statue of a jackal. Putting his hand on it, he used his powers to turn it to sand, in a matter of moments.

" This is what I do, me, the guardians of Alabasta. "

Then, turning to Cobra, he cried out.

" I will ask my question differently! Where are the poneglyphs located? "

" Poneglyphs ? " Vivi repeated.

" If you tell me where the poneglyphs are, I promise a sweet and swift death to your daughter and your pet dog. "

" This is too much. " Chaka roared, transforming.

" AHHHHH! "

Hitting a man with his tonfa, Gin knocked him to the ground.

" Motherfucker. " Roared a man, jumping behind his back.

Spinning his tonfa, Gin kissed himself to avoid his blade. Then, turning around, he flew his weapon in the direction of the man's face, who felt his jaw snap. However, barely having time to get to his feet, Gin felt a pistol bullet shoot through his back.

Spitting blood, he dropped to one knee in front of his opponents. Initially, Gin had fought nine people. Currently, there were only four left.

Smiling, one of the men said.

" This guy ... he defeated Mr 6. "

" Perfect ! He's so exhausted that even guys like us can kill him. "

" Imagine the promotion we will have if we bring his head back to Mr 0. "

Seeing him vomiting blood, while Gin seemed unable to get up, two men pulled out their swords and ran towards him.

" You're a dead man. "

Continuing to smile, the other two men remained motionless, preferring to witness Gin's death. However, their smiles faded, the instant they saw Gin suddenly stand up, and spin around, in order to hit both of his opponents with his tonfas.

Managing to dodge his weapons, stooping down, the two men then aimed their swords at his abdomen and slashed it savagely.

Eyes wide open, Gin felt himself fall back. Taking advantage of this, his two opponents pointed their weapons at his throat, to make sure he was killed. Letting go of one of his tonfas, Gin positioned his arm in front of his throat, and let the two sabers pierce him.

" What ? " The two men were surprised.

At that moment, turning their faces, they saw Gin's second arm spinning his tonfa before sending it in the direction of their faces.

" No ! WAIT ! "

Too late. The tonfa struck both of their faces and knocked them unconscious, while breaking their teeth. Stunned, the two men who were staying behind saw the trio collapse to the ground. But while their comrades remained motionless, they could hear Gin coughing up blood, while having difficulty breathing.

" This guy ... he's not human. "

" We just have to shoot him. " The second man assured, pointing his gun at him.

Trying to get up, Gin could only wince in pain, as he couldn't move a muscle.

"Damn it! I'm screwed ! "

" GIN-ANEKI ! "

" What ? " The two men were surprised, turning around.

The man with the gun barely had time to turn around when he saw Johnny right in front of him. Raising his saber, the pirate struck his opponent's revolver, while slashing his stomach.

" ARRRGH ! " Shouted his enemy falling back.

Seeing this, his comrade tried to quickly pull out his gun to attack Johnny. However, Yosaku appeared in turn and used the handle of his sword to strike him in the face and knock him out.

" What ? " Gin wondered, seeing the duo knock the two men down.

Themselves astonished, Yosaku and Johnny patted the two bodies with their feet. Then, noticing that the two men were unconscious, they stared at each other before uttering cries of joy.

" We defeated them. "

" And three ! We become champions. "

Then they started to dance, while shouting.

" Hip hip hip hooray! Hip hip hip hooray. "

" It would embarrass you to come and help me, idiots. " Gin roared.

Seeing him stay on the ground, Yosaku was surprised.

" You can't move? "

" If I could, I would have done it a long time ago, asshole. "

Helping him lift him up, Johnny cried out.

" Now we have to go to the palace and join Sister-Vivi. "

" And for little-Menma? " Wanted to know Yosaku.

" Menma? " Gin wondered. "Where is she ? "

" She disappeared. "

" What? Band of incompetents! Your only mission was to watch her! How did you manage to lose her? "

'' But ... we fought guys and ...!

" And she disappeared! I swear ! She was behind us and she vanished. "

" Grrr! This kid…! Damn it! We must find her ! But first, we must find Lucy. "

" Lucy? "

" HOWLING FANG ! "

Passing behind Crocodile, Chaka had created three gashes in his body. Yet, far from being afraid of it, Crocodile quietly continued to smoke his cigar, as sand filled the holes in his body.

" Chaka… you don't seem like a stupid man to me! So, you must know that you will never be able to defeat a logia like me. "

'' Even if I can't, I will try to save my king's life! Affirmed the man, who had just taken on the appearance of a jackal-man! FANG ..."

" DESERT SPADA ! "

A saber blade rushed towards Chaka and gutted him.

" ARRRGGGGHHH. " He yelled, coughing up blood.

Then, his body flew until it landed near Vivi.

" CHAKA ! "

" Tsss! Definitely, Alabasta's '' guardians '' are nothing out of the ordinary. "

" It is true that I defeated the man-hawk in a few seconds. " Robin agreed.

" Weakness is an unforgivable sin. "Affirmed Crocodile. " This is why this kingdom must disappear. "

Not knowing what to say, Vivi heard Neni's moans as the man tried to stand up.

" Gar … Garbage. "

" Neni! Don't move. "

Glaring at Crocodile, Mr 9 exclaimed.

" You only kill people weaker than you and you are proud of it? You are far from being a warrior! You are a crummy. "

Staring at Neni, Crocodile finally takes a step towards him. Immediately Mr 9 leaned back. Seeing him do it, Crocodile scoffed.

" Mr 9… you are really pathetic! Nothing is strong about you, except your stupidity! But if you want…"

He turned his arm to sand.

" I can finish you now ! SAND… "

" What is happening here ? "

Stopping, Crocodile, like Neni and Vivi, was surprised to see a man come up to them. Recognizing him, Vivi could only say his first name.

" Koza? "

" Vivi? " The man wondered, looking all around him. " Crocodile ? King Cobra? Chaka ? "

Not understanding what was happening, the leader of the revolutionary army wanted to know.

" What is happening here ? "

" Koza? " Repeated Crocodile. " Oh ? So, are you that fool who is the leader of the rebels? I'm surprised to see you here! Tell me, how did you find a way to get here? "

Still surprised by what he saw, Koza remained silent.

" The secret tunnel. " Understood Cobra. " The one I showed you when you were a kid. "

" What … ? What's going on ? "

" Not much. " Crocodile assured him. " I just decided to join the Revolutionary Army and help you defeat Cobra. "

" What? "

" Yes ! After all, the hero of Alabasta couldn't stand idly by as a war threatens to kill a million people. "

" KOZA! Don't listen to her. " Cried Vivi. " He lies . "

Suddenly, Crocodile turned his arm to sand and his hand ended up grabbing Vivi's neck. Beginning to strangle her, he then threw her at Koza.

" Nevertheless, as you can see, his family decided to support him in his horrible actions! I hope you enjoy slitting this girl's throat as a punishment for being the accomplice of this odious king. "

" The accomplice? "

" Koza, he's lying. " Vivi insisted, straightening up. " It's Crocodile who has manipulated you all! It is he who is at the origin of this war. "

" What? "

'' Come on, my dear Koza, who are you going to believe? The daughter of the man who burned down the town of Nanohana yesterday? Or the man who has kept saving your country for the past two years? "

Smiling mournfully, he cried out.

" I am sure that these two years of misery that you spent because of king's selfishness must have filled your heart with frustration and hatred! If you want, I'm ready to let you kill that girl ! She has that monster's blood running through her veins. "

" Koza! I swear to you that…"

Suddenly Vivi saw Koza grab his sword.

" Tell me the truth, Vivi! Tell me you weren't an accomplice in your father's crimes. "

" Ko ... za ? "

" Hey! What are you doing ? " Neni questioned, trying to get up, to finally collapse again to the ground. " Princess Wednesday! Run away. "

" Why does she have to flee? " Wanted to know Crocodile, sneering. " My dear Koza, imagine how many murders this girl could have committed on a whim, just because she's a princess? This family has thought only of her, leaving you to live in misery and leaving you to die and… "

" SHUT UP ! "

Astonished, Crocodile saw Vivi clench her fists as she sobbed.

" Stop! Stop it all! I beg you ! Stop this massacre. "

" Vivi? " Koza wondered.

" Koza! I don't care if you believe me or not! I don't care if you hate me or not! Koza, please! Tell your men to stop the fight! I don't want Crocodile to rejoice watching you all die. "

'' Watching us die? "

Suddenly, Crocodile's golden hook landed above Vivi, while the Shichibukai found the situation less amusing.

" Decidedly, you know how to ruin my fun. "

Nonetheless, a saber struck Crocodile's hook, pulling it back.

" Hum ? " The Shichibukai wondered as he picked up the object.

Standing in front of Vivi, looking down, Koza thought back to the fire that had spread yesterday in Nanohana.

" Cro ... co ... dile ! "

He thought about what had become of Yuba.

" Crocodile ! "

Then, hearing the sounds of struggle behind him, as well as cries of agony, Koza screamed.

" CROCODILE ! "
